Dec 23, 2009 12oz bottle from my np10 partner. Can’t believe I haven’t rated this yet so here goes... Pours a reddish caramel brown with a thin wispy ligh beige head... Aroma of pumpkin and very light from a spice perspective...Flavors are of sweet and caramely pumpkin. Not too spiced up like some other pumpkin ales. Earthy from a consistency standpoint and sweeter through the middle and finish. Not much bitterness at all to this one.

Dec 13, 2009 Very spicy nose with some pumpkin aroma. Mouthfeel is smooth and creamy. Taste of pumpkin and sweet malt is present but not overly so. Nicely balanced.

Pretty amber orange color with lace. Spicy, sweet, pumpkin aroma. Huge spices, a bit over the top. Yet the flavor is much more subdued and elegant, a big surprise after the big aroma. Ok pumpkin, nice spices, good alcohol and fruit, with a bit of acid. Very well balanced.

Dec 11, 2009 A nice copper color and a wonderful sugary sweet aroma: hints of nutmeg, cinnamin, and molasses. The taste however was a little bit thin given the big aroma and on the palette it was very ho-hum. Overall a decently tasty and seasonal beer.

Dec 8, 2009 Smell the cinnamon and spice but just beyond that there is a hint of wheat. They cover it well with this one and I am very impressed. Love the taste. Love the quick cinamon, nutmeg, pumpkin and gone taste. Taste like grandma’s pumpkin pie. Wonderful. Wonderful. Wonderful.

Dec 1, 2009 I am not usually a fan of pumpkin, but this beer really found a nice balance between pumpkin, spice, and malt flavors.
